Game day began with music. The long-haired guy at the keyboard is playing a water organ, in which a water-filled reservoir exerts hydraulic pressure on an air chamber below to force air up through the pipes. Beside him is a horn player, apparently wondering whether his brass tube could be folded back and forth to form a more compact instrument. |
The largest scene, shown below, depicts combat between a retiarius wielding a trident and a dagger and a secutor armed with a shield and a short sword. An arbiter or referee signals the fight to begin. |
